\ Sharp iSOukkeCper.

The people Of Glons Falls, N. Y,
never before were 30 shocked as when
the nows of the embezzlement Of &18, 100
by Charles B. Ide, q bookkeeper of the
First National Bank, was announced.
The method employed by Ide was when
draft amounting to 1000 or there
abouts was given by somo large custom
or of the bank to make q duplicate entry
on the stub and make the draft payable
to his brokers'. He would charge the
amount of the draft to the customer on
the day book and make posting mark,
but would never post the amount in the
ledger. In this manner and by forcing
balances he covered his work for years,
lde, in his confession, said that the
whole amount had been lost in Wall
street. 1t is stated on good authority
that no effort will be made to prosecute
ide, and that partial restitution will be
made by his relatives. cs.-Times.

a BIG DOCTORS BILL.
What the Physicians Charged tho Lato MIR.
Tilden for their Professional Services.
fEro,p tho Naw Norls TimeaN

(From the New York Times.)
The admirers of Samuel j. Tildcn
who took pleasure IN proclaimiDg on
every possible occasion that he possessed
more Jeffersonian simplicity than any
man of his weight in the country, wert
of course unaware that he owed dec
tors bill of $143,G00. A bill OF such
magnificent, not to say startling, pro.
portions and Jetfersonion simplicity
could not possibly run double. For the
purpose of supporting tho Suge's rcpl,
tation for simplicity some of his admir-.
ers may argue I'll ~ Mr.. Tildrn may not
have been aware that he owed so many
bags of gold for medical attendance and
apothecary's wares. The trustees of his
estate, it is understood, take this view of
the matter, aid the impression among
the fow people who know anything
about it is that the coming century will
be considerably advnnccd before such n
bill is paid at the face,
Ono of the trustees looked surprised
when asked if payment had been refused
OF the bill presented by DR.. Charles T..
Simmons for medical service and attend.
ance upon Mr.. Tildon. Instead Of
giving plain and satisfactory answer TO
the question tho trustee said that DR..
Summons was the proper person FROM
whom to get information on such sub
JeCt. Then, Of course, the reporter
gratetully accepted tho statement that
the matter was private, not q public,
ono. The trustee would not say that
payment of DIR. Simmons bill had been
refused, but he smiled when the amount,
$l43, 800, was mentioned.
Or Summons, who is also q commits
sloner Of charities and correction, was
more willing to talk than the trustee mad
been. He talked oil around the bill,
but never mentioned the amount. Tho
latter was stated to him, but even then
he Jailed TO deny or affirm that the
figures were correct. He promptly
denied that payment had been refused
but admitted he had not been paid
Any delay in the matter should be
ascrlbed to him, he said, and not to the
trustees of the Tilden estate. Without
giving the amount Of his bill, DIR. SIM
mons explained how bill could reach
very large proportions. He had attend.
cd MIR. Tilden, he said, for eight years,
or to bo exact, for seven years and
eleven months. During that period he
had visited Mr.. Tilden every day, prob
ably. He was Mr.. Tilden's friend as
we'll as his physician, and considered
Mr.. Tildon his best friend Mr.. Tilden
had always done every thing in his power
for him and his. Being on such terms
OF intimacy, it seemed natural that II
settlement should be deferred. 1t was
postponed to such M extent that Nlt
Iilden died without making one. d.
Simmons said n settlement would be
reached without any trouble when thc
proper time arrived. He and the trug.
tees would meet and adjust the muttcr.
lie, too, was unable to see why the pub
lie should be particularly Interested in
his bill until he was assured it was solely
on account of its size. About that lie
had nothing to say, nor did he otI;cr the
reDOrtGr q COW of the bill

Facts AbOut Pensions.

Pension Commissioner Black in his
annual report makes number of recon-
mendations for legislation in the line OF
greater libcrality to tho pensioncr,
among others that additional clerical
forco bo allowed to enable the CommiS-
sioncr, without making extra demands
upon the clerks now III tho service to
complete and satisfy the Mexican pen
sion claims, of which 5000 have been
allowed since the passage Of the Act.
At the close of the year I03, $50 pen
sloners were Oh the rolls classified as
follows: 294, 445 army invalids, 85,5Ol
army widows, minor children and de-
pendent relatives; 3,281 navy inYalids;
1878 navy widows, minor children and
dependent relatives; 1868 survivors OF
the war of 1872, and II ,83l widows of
those who served in that war; 1903 sur
Viyors Of the war with Mexico, and S95
widows of those who served in said war.
There were added to the rolls during
the year tho names of So, lSl new pen.
sloncrs, and tho names of 2,T07 whose
pensions had beon previously dropped
were restored to the rolls. During the
same period tho names of 1857 pen
sioners were dropped from tho rolls for
various causes. The amount pnid for
pensions during the year WAS 1878, ,467, 58l
an increase in the amount over the pre-
vious year of 50, ,GG8, 75O. In the aggrc-
gate, l,O9l 200 pension claims have been
filed since 1861, and in the same period
676,9l8 claims of all classes have been
allowed An appropriation of 1906,

China Wants Railroads.

The New York Sun is responsible for
the following: The statement published
the other day, upon the authority Of II
gentleman III the diplomatic service, in
q letter Of our Washington correspond
ent, that "the Chinese Government has
for years tried to induce European capi-
talists to build railroads in tho interior
of China" is not correct. The fact is
that the Chinese Government has never
been willing up to this time that any
railroad should bo built except the coal
road at Kaiping; and, while it authorized
the extension of that road last winter to
the Rchtang, and lately to the Peiho, it
has confined the right to make the cx-
tension, and also to build o connection
for it from Tientsin to Taku, to native
company, in which no foreigner has
been permitted to take stock or hold any
interest whatever. 1t is absolutely Ger
tain that tho Chinese government has
never, directly or Indirectly, asked any
European government or syndicate of
capitalists to build railroads 10 the in.
terror Of China, or to furnish money for
building them.
1t is apparent that the facts about
MitkiOwicl's alleged concession, what
ever it may cover, or whatever the cir
cumStanccs may have been which in
duced tho Chinese to grant it, if they
have granted it, havo not yet been cor
rectIy made known in America. We orc
sure that no one who has any real
knowledge about China will believe thai
the Chinese authorities are such fools as
the stories of MitkiowicH would make
them out to be.
